How to Naturalize Daffodils in the Lawn // Planting Narcissus in Grass // Northlawn Flower Farm

Naturalizing daffodils in the lawn is a great way to achieve an natural looking, easy care floral show come spring. By planting narcissus in the grass you create a natural drift of blooms that will come back and multiply year after year.
Other great bulbs for naturalizing -
Tulipa orphanidea
Scilla siberica
Nectaroscordum siculum
Fritillaria meleagris
Camassia leichtlinii
Ornithogalum umbellatum - Invasive in some areas

Love daffodils! We add more to our garden every year. Thanks for the video.

Hi, I was surprised to see an early video up!!! I actually skipped garden answers video to watch yours!! I hope you get alot more subs because you deserve it!!❤ The info you give just says so much! I like that tool you have to stamp holes. We're did you get your bulb planter?🐕❤🥰

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Thanks so much for those kind words Brittany! The tool I'm using is called a proplugger. I purchased it on Amazon. They also have ones that push the dirt out naturally as you dig the next hole. This one you need to flip over.

Hi Danielle, this is the first video I’ve seen about naturalizing daffodils. I’ve always planted them incorrectly ; daffodils standing in a row which does not look nice! Thanks ! You speak and present so well! I really enjoy listening to you.🍁❤️🇨🇦

[@jeannet9592]

I love love love daffodils! They are like a surprise gift each spring!

[@emkn1479]

True story! My in-laws planted daffodils in 1978 on their new property and put them in the wrong spot (the layout of the house changed) but they’re still going strong, every spring! They could definitely benefit from dividing, but they’ve lived with absolutely no care whatsoever. They’re out of the way and hard to notice so I might dig them up and add them to my developing meadow, which is more of a focal area. Oh and species tulips are absolutely amazing. Especially the “candlestick” types. I’ve added more this fall.

And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils. Thank you for reminding us of the Poem and also planting beautiful poetry in your Northlawn Flower Farm. 😊 🌾 🌹 🌻 🌷 🌺 🌼 🌸

Yesterday I put 450 giant crocus in my front yard. Thanks Danielle.

[@Ohiogardengoddess]

Thanks for the video! Ironically I watched your other daffodil video yesterday evening, no joke to see if you had any info on this subject and here you are this morning with a video. How cool is that 😆

[@laurabaughman1272]

This is such an informative video. Thank you, Danielle! I loved the photo of Gracie at 8:30 with the daffodils in the background. 🐾❤️ she’s so pretty!

[@alisonwise3444]

I can't wait to see what happens next spring! I now around my daffodils until the first week in June, but then I must cut them. What I've noticed over the last 25 years or so of planting 100 bulbs pretty much every year is that after awhile the older bulbs do tend to lose a lot of their pigment, but they still come back 🤞 White Flower Farm offers a good mix for naturalizing called The Works 💚

[@johannawilson3807]

I’m adding 200 ipheon to my front yard this year after having planted 100 each year for the past 2 years. Now you’ve got me thinking about what else I can throw out there! I love the idea of a naturalized lawn. The whole mowing thing is the problem…..

[@bluesky7226]

Fabulous! Can't wait to see your handiwork in the spring! And daffodils are deer resistant!

[@amysgardenstead2879]

I have one more bag of daffodils left to plant and have been struggling to find a place. There is an edge to my property that is shade in summer but since the trees are deciduous I think a naturalized area might work. My neighbor just had a fieldstone wall put in near the woods that would be perfect for them. I think I will do some in both areas and share the spring happiness. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@BrittanyS143]

Omy don't you hate that!! I'll be staring for a long time finding a spot to plant lol! The best thing to do when that happens is to just drop the plant and walk away🤣 and come back later.

[@liliflood2470]

Straight to the point, I love that!! 👏🏻👏🏻

Loved the tips!

[@mmaz8829]

Great suggestion. Thank you.

[@warmgreenshade1210]

I planted a few different spring bulbs in this week. 💛 Hope to add to it next year. I can't wait to see your lawn in spring!

[@emilygowdycox656]

I've ordered 250 daffodil bulbs and I can't wait to do this! I have the perfect planting site and I hope it turns out as beautiful as yours! Your joy in gardening is so beautiful and a blessing to watch! You've inspired me to dive into growing more varieties of flowers that I never would have considered. Thank you for everything! ❤️

[@alissaeyre8302]

I feel so inspired by this video! I'm going to start planting daffodils for naturalizing every fall from now on! We have 20 acres, so I just need to decide on the best area to do it!

[@Artzenflowers]

Yes! Making it the norm! One can dream.

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

I am going to do this next year as I’m working on the area at the moment and it’s taking me forever in our British weather 💕 it’s going to be gorgeous Danielle 🥰

[@karendomigan4612]

Love this video ❤️

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

What a great and comprehensive video! I can’t wait to see yours in the Spring! I’m getting ready to do a video with naturalized daffs with the drill and drop method. I will definitely link this video because there’s no way I could explain it better than you! 👏🏻💚👩🏼‍🌾💛

[@joannekoury4156]

This is a wonderful way to mass plant daffodils.. thanks for idea.

[@Creekside_Cottage_Garden]

Great information thank you for sharing

[@pallascecile7034]

Ce sera magnifique !!...

[@Flanuora]

Great video! I haven’t seen it done quite this way before but it’s brilliant! I need to order some more bulbs.

[@irksome100]

Good idea. Thanks.

[@GardenDoodles]

Would love to have naturalized daffodils and crocuses popping out of the lawn every spring. That would be so great!

[@chrishughes8850]

This is brilliant. I'm about to plant daffodils and crocus in my lawn. Wish me luck!

[@jeromegagnon8335]

I totally agree with you

[@cherylbolivar10]

Where can one buy a bulb planter like you are using? I've never seen one like that before. Love your videos ❤

[@sangeetaaich01]

wonderful informative video,You should make videos more often.

[@lanabisson2675]

the pink and apricot colored double daffodiles are my favorite. I cant find them in local stores so I have to order online.

[@kathrynsavela9506]

I got a ready made mix of early mid late bloomers. Planted 110 last year and another 125 this year for our woodsy area. I think the squirrels and moles get some of them but it’s the only thing the deer and rabbits won’t eat.

[@graylagran7443]

i have a bunch of daffodils to plant this fall. i appreciate you addressing how long to leave the foliage up to feed the bulb, which means i need to be really careful about where i plant them -- maybe between my daylilies, and in my annual bed around the mailbox, and maybe under my giant oak that won't really be leafing out much yet.

[@gardengatesopen]

Every year I add a few more! I also pay attention to their height. This way I don't have the short little cuties hiding behind the tall ones. I have a grass pathway thru my yard so I can walk amongst the Daffodils in the Spring! It's glorious!! I'm curious to find out if my Daffs survived after the big Arctic storm we had here in Texas last February. I only question it bcuz they had already put their leaves up when the storm came, but then afterward, they dies back instantly, and never flowered. My garlic died too. And all the Daffs in pots did die. So I'm guessing the Daffs in the ground died too. Either way, I'm still planting more!! 🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵

[@yolandaye492]

Thanks for sharing, I'm thinking to do the same on the strip area along the side walk in front of my house, that area have tons of cosmos pop up late in the spring and will flower late summer to early fall, it will be wonderful if I can have daffodils blooming in early spring at the same area, so we will have flower for three seasons.

[@emmyhusfloen]

Where did you get your bulb hole puller/planter? What a great tool!!

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi Emmy! It's a proplugger. I purchased it on Amazon. I like it - but you do have to turn it over about every four holes to dump the dirt. And it's got some weight to it. I like it for a hundred or two hundred bulbs...but I think my back would hurt if I did more than that. The ones that push the dirt out after each hole may be better.

[@RebeccaEnsz]

I have a hay meadow I want to do this in. We bale the hay in the meadow later in July. Will the daffodils choke out the grass as they grow into larger clumps?

[@jamilynmcnally902]

I Live in Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Is it too late to plant tulip and daffodil bulbs?

[@TiffanyP1019]

Hello! I’m located in NEPA. Do you purchase your bulbs online or stores near you? It online where is the best place to purchase from? Thanks so much! I’m glad I found your channel, I’ve really been enjoying your videos!

Thanks for the info. Could you tell me what the big “fir” tree is over your right shoulder? I see it in a lot of your videos and love it! Thanks.

[@cathflonaturals7149]

Where did you buy your bulb digget

[@melissamybubbles6139]

I was just about to go plant Daffodils in my lawn. My soil is heavy clay, so I dug a little deeper and put compost in it. Given the number of bulbs and thus the amount of amendments, I hope the bulbs won't drown. I have planted several varieties of bulbs (including snowdrops) in a heart design. That will make it easier to mow around, and my neighbors are excited to see the heart in the spring. It's taken me three weeks and they're still not all planted. Will the snowdrops die having waited that long?

[@NorthlawnFlowerFarm]

Hi there! As long as your snowdrop bulbs are still firm (and most likely they still will be) they will be perfectly fine! It often take me at least a month to get everything in.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

@@NorthlawnFlowerFarm Thank you. I feel reassured.

[@emmyhusfloen]

My Alliums have started coming up I'm in Zone 4B, Will they flower still? should I wait and let them freeze back and hope for the best... Or should I remove them and bring them inside to flower indoors?

Cover the shoots with mulch
